What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage．
Escaping a fire is a serious matter．Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life．It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family，such as stairways and fire escapes，but not lifts．
From the lower floors of the buildings，escaping through windows is possible，learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury．
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground．An average（平均高度的）person，hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground．It is about the height of an average man．Of course，it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building．
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help．Be sure to keep the door closed．Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room．Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked（滲）into the room．
On a second or third floor，the best windows for escaping are those that open onto a roof．From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely．Dropping onto cement（水泥）might end in injury．Bushes（灌木叢）and grass can help to break a fall．

If you want to become a better reader, what should you know about speed of reading?
Some people read very rapidly(很快地), while others read very slowly. But which one is
better?
The rapid reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be
able to slow down enough to read directions(說明) carefully. He may read so rapidly that he does
not take time to understand fully the ideas and information which are important to remember.
The slow reader may be a good reader when he reads directions for making something. But he
may spend too much time in reading a simple story which is meant to be enjoyed but is not
important enough to be remembered.
So, you see, either a rapid reader or a slow reader is not really a good one. If you wish to
become a better reader, here are four important things to remember about speed of reading.
1. Knowing why you are reading will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or
slowly.
2. Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing
something, science and history books, and Maths problems. You must read such things slowly or
remember each important step and understand each important idea.
3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories for enjoyment,
letters from friends and bits of news from hometown papers.
4. In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as
you go along. You will need to read certain(某些) pages rapidly and then slow down and do more
careful reading when you come to important ideas.
小題1: What should be read rapidly?
A．Directions for making something.
B．Maths problems.
C．Science and history books.
D．Storybooks, newspapers, personal letters, etc.
小題2:What is the important thing you should keep in mind about speed of reading?
A．To read as fast as you can.B．To fit your reading speed to your needs.
C．To read as slowly as possible.D．To keep your reading at a certain speed.
小題3:Which title best gives the main idea of the passage?
A．Something about Careful ReadingB．Be a Rapid Reader.
C．How to Read?D．How to Be a Slow Reader?

My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his CF & thr 3:-@ kids FTF ILNY, its gr8.
　　Can you understand this sentence? If you can't, don't feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the "translation" of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York; it's great.
　　Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming（破壞）the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes cxan be seen in students' writing. They fear the language could become corrupted（面目全非的）.
　　Everyone should just relax, say linguists（語言學家）. They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. "People get better at writing by writing," he says, "Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents."
　　Linguist James Millroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become "corrupted"; they simply change to meet the new needs.
　　However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, "I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future."
　　Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, "I wouldn't use text language in my homework. Texting is just for fun"
　小題1:What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A．To give an example of a foreign language.
B．To show an example of creative methods.
C．To express worries about using Netspeak.
D．To lead in the topic of Netspeak.
　小題2:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Cynthia McVey points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly.
B．Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English.
C．David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing.
D．James Milroy says that language is changing and improving.
　　小題3:The expression "bet your bottom dollar" in Paragraph 5 means ______.
A．be fairly sure B．be greatly surprised
C．think it a pity D．find it interesting
　　小題4: What can be the best title for the passage?
A．Netspeak: A Widely-Used Language on Internet
B．Is Netspeak Harming the English Language?
C．Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning?
D．Netspeak: Advantages and Disadvantages

Almost all of us have unpleasant habits. We all want to get rid of(擺脫) them, but we don’t know proper ways. Here’s some advice.
●Write down all the reasons why you want to stop some behavior. Look at the reasons very often.
●It’s clever to do something else when you want to stop your bad habits. If you get angry easily, for example, you can go out for a walk.
●Decide what you’ll do to reward(獎勵) yourself if you really get rid of your bad habits.
●If you get too heavy, keep junk food out of your house.
●Bad habits develop over years, so you can’t get rid of them very soon. So you should be patient.
●Don’t be afraid to ask others for support. You can talk to your friends, family or other people. When you talk to them, they might be able to provide some advice that you can’t get from yourself.

Researchers have announced the result of two studies on the health effects of the drug aspirin(阿斯匹林). One study shows aspirin can sharply reduce the chance that a healthy, older man will suffer from a heart attack.
The study offered two new results from earlier findings. It said taking one aspirin pill every other day helped only healthy men over the age of fifty. It also said aspirin gave the greatest protection against heart attacks to men with low blood cholesterol(膽固醇) levels.
Earlier in the United States began a major aspirin study in the early 1980s. it included 22,000 healthy men doctors. All were between the ages of forty and eighty-four. More than 11,000 of the doctors took a harmless pill that contained no drug. The men did not know which kind of pill they were taking.
The doctors who took aspirin suffered 44% fewer heart attacks than those taking the harmless pill. 139 men who took aspirin suffered from heart attacks. Ten of them died. 239 men who didn’t take aspirin suffered from heart attacks. Twenty-six of them died.
The researchers said the doctors’ study provides clear proof that taking aspirin can prevent a first heart attack in healthy, older men. They said ,however, the result does not mean every man over the age of fifty should take aspirin. They said aspirin couldn’t help men who do not eat healthy foods, who smoke cigarettes and who are fat. The researchers said men who think they would be helped by taking aspirin should talk with their doctors first.
小題1: The passage tells us that the new use of aspirin is___________.
A．to treat heart disease.
B．to reduce pain while one suffers from a heart attack.
C．to help old people to be more healthy.
D．to reduce the chance of a heart attack in old men.
小題2:Aspirin can help those who___________.
A．work as doctorsB．a(chǎn)re under 40 years old
C．a(chǎn)re fat and smoke cigarettesD．a(chǎn)re older and healthy
小題3:From the experiment we can conclude that about _________ of people who suffered from heart attacks without aspirin died.
A．7%B．11%
C．19%D．44%

Do you know HFMD? It’s short for Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease. This year, in China, thousands of children were suffering from it. What’s HFMD? How to prevent it? Now, read the passage please.
HFMD usually affects babies who are 1~4 years old, but adults can also be infected. Both EV71 and Cox A16 can cause HFMD, which usually starts with a slight fever followed by blisters (水泡) and ulcers (潰瘍) in the mouth and rashes (皮疹) on the hands and feet.
It can be spread through people with the mucus (唾液) or feces (糞便) of an infected person. It usually appears during the summer and autumn months. HFMD isn’t Bird Flu, SARS or Mad Cow Disease, but it’s not a new one, either. It first appeared in New Zealand in 1957. About forty years later, it appears in Asia. It’s reported that it breaks out every 2 or 3 years.
HFMD is very terrible and there is no vaccine (疫苗) now, but we can do something helpful to prevent it. ‘Children with HFMD should seek medical treatment as early as possible’, experts say. They also suggest that parents keep the air fresh in a child’s room, which should be kept clean, tidy and dry. Children should be taught to wash their hands regularly. Staying away from crowded public places is also basic.
